Veriam vs. Forgerock

A focused comparison
forgerock_logo

 

ForgeRock is a comprehensive, enterprise-grade identity and access management (IAM) solution designed for large organizations that require highly customizable, AI-driven authentication and authorization capabilities. It is well-suited for B2C and workforce IAM use cases, offering Single Sign-On (SSO), adaptive authentication, identity governance, and user lifecycle management.

However, ForgeRock is primarily focused on large-scale enterprises, requires significant infrastructure investment, and does not offer native subscription management or billing solutions. Its B2B authentication and authorization capabilities are not as flexible as its workforce or consumer identity features.

This is where Veriam stands out. Veriam is a cloud-native, fully managed IAM and subscription management solution specifically built for B2B authentication, external user access, and integrated billing. While ForgeRock excels in workforce and consumer IAM with deep AI-driven security features, Veriam is purpose-built to handle the unique challenges of B2B authentication, flexible authorization, and subscription-based access control.
